We met in the literal calm before the storm. February 2020. We were both swiping through a dating app when we found each other. Very new-age romance. We started messaging one night and quickly realized we had a lot in common. So much so that suddenly it was 3 in the morning. On our first date, we made each other laugh and talked late into the night. About three weeks later, COVID lockdowns began, and our dates shifted to video calls. It wasn’t exactly the romantic start we had expected, but facing those early challenges together made us stronger. It’s been a wild ride. Six years later, here we are! Still losing track of time talking into the wee hours of the night, still making each other laugh… and now getting ready to do it for the rest of our lives.
